REPRESENTATIVE MATTERS
Notable representations include:

• Defending an executive against claims of RICO violations, fraud, unfair competition, tortious interference, Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and Penal Law violations, in separate actions in the commercial division of the Supreme Court of New York, and successfully dismissed all such claims.

• Representing a ground lessor in prosecuting claims against the ground lessee for violating the lease, and successfully negotiating resolution of those claims.

• Litigating claims on behalf of a sponsor in a dispute following a complex "cond-op" conversion, which resulted in successfully amending the Condominium Declaration and Proprietary Lease.

• Defending a real estate developer against claims of estoppel and fraud in connection with a restaurant project on Hudson Street, and achieving successful settlement of all claims in advance of trial.

• Arbitrating an employment raiding case before the NASD between two large financial institutions.
